The tapes perportedly show school resource officer Scot Peterson failing to enter the building and confront accused shooter Nikolas Cruz. A judge ruled that BSO had to turn over the tapes under Florida’s broad public records law, which should happen Thursday.

Most of the readers who responded to us said yes, the public should have access to the evidence. When asked whether the video should be released and, if so, how much of it, the most common response was “All of it.”

User Drove21 commented on the story, “It should be shown in its entirety.” Twitter was largely in agreement.

Some were a bit harsher on Peterson in their demands for the tape’s release ...

… while others took the opposite side and said, no, the tapes should stay hidden away.

Parkland resident Diane Weber wrote in an email that she had a daughter in Building 12 when the shooting occurred.

“I want to see and should have the right to see every inch of the tapes of the OUTSIDE of building 1200. The cops waited over 10 mins to go in and save my 16yr old daughter and 820+ others innocent children lives, I want to try and understand why they didn't go in immediately,” Weber wrote. “There were CHILDREN in there for goodness sakes. Who cares if they didn't know where the shots were coming from. Trained police with guns and protected vests should instinctively have gone in within 1-2 mins of 911 calls.”

Weber added that she had no desire to see any footage of the inside of the building.

Like Weber, the Sun Sentinel is not seeking video from inside the building.
